Chapter 93

Looking at the additional fruit on the small tree, Zhang Tie's heart pounded, constantly reminding himself to stay calm. After taking a few deep breaths, Zhang Tie resisted the impulse to immediately pick the Soul Tribulation Fruit. He turned away from it and picked the ripe No-Leak Fruit, quickly eating it. Then, he sat cross-legged under the small tree, beginning to quietly experience the effects of the second No-Leak Fruit.

The sweet juice of the No-Leak Fruit still lingered in his mouth, and the familiar warmth in his chest and abdomen began to rise and swirl. The warmth turned into a wave, transforming into a rolling fire dragon that rushed toward the bright point at the base of his spine. The power gradually grew from gentle to strong, and the bright point at the base of his spine, which Zhang Tie had just polished to emit a faint red light, suddenly flared up like a pile of wood doused with oil. The red light became brighter and brighter, and with a boom, it turned into an orange glow. The orange glow, fueled by the energy, gradually became brighter...

Zhang Tie sat for about half an hour, during which his body trembled slightly three times. After half an hour, Zhang Tie opened his eyes, his gaze filled with barely suppressed excitement. In just this short time, the bright point at the base of his spine had lit up with a dazzling yellow light. One No-Leak Fruit had broken through three layers of cultivation barriers at the bright point. This was an incredible speed and power. Looking at the silent small tree beside him, Zhang Tie felt only reverence.

After moving his body and limbs, Zhang Tie returned to the Soul Tribulation Fruit.

I wonder what the Soul Tribulation Fruit does?

With this question in mind, Zhang Tie carefully picked the Soul Tribulation Fruit and sat cross-legged again, swallowing it in one bite.

Unlike the sweet No-Leak Fruit, when the Soul Tribulation Fruit was bitten, it felt like a packet of smoke-like clear water. The moment it was bitten, the Soul Tribulation Fruit in his mouth seemed to turn into a stream of green smoke that rushed straight to his brain through the connection between his mouth and nose. When the energy from the Soul Tribulation Fruit met the golden mist-like small vortex of spiritual energy in his brain, Zhang Tie felt as if someone had struck a large drum in his head. His vision went black, and he seemed to enter a space with no light.

This was a strange feeling. Zhang Tie's body was clearly sitting under the Manjusha Causal Ten Thousand Edges Treasure Tree, but his spirit felt as if he had entered a space with no light.

The time in this space was only a brief moment, then a point of light appeared. This point of light gradually became brighter, eventually forming a hexagonal door similar to the shape of the Soul Tribulation Fruit. Zhang Tie did not move, but the glowing hexagonal door rushed toward him like a train, enveloping him. Then, Zhang Tie found himself in a scene that left him extremely shocked...

It was the familiar small path he took when returning from mining!

It was the familiar hill!

It was the familiar grassland!

A breeze blew, and a wave of grass rolled over the familiar grassland.

He could hear the sound of the wind blowing through the grass, and the familiar insect chirping still echoed by the roadside. The sunset was slowly casting a golden glow over the Wild Wolf Valley, and every pore of his body could feel the warm air...

What's going on? Why am I here? This feeling is so familiar. Zhang Tie became somewhat panicked. In his panic, he realized he was still carrying a mining basket.

Time did not give Zhang Tie much time to think about what was happening. Just as he was feeling panicked, a few "reefs" in the grass began to move toward him, slowly at first, then faster. In just a few seconds, three wolves emerged from the grass.

The three wolves stared at Zhang Tie, their eyes filled with hatred that even the most numb person could sense their determination. The three wild wolves bared their fangs and growled menacingly. Everything was exactly the same as what Zhang Tie had experienced a few days ago, except that the seven wolves had become three. These three seemed to be the same ones he had killed. Zhang Tie remembered that one of the wolves he had killed had a white collar, just like one of the three in front of him.

What the hell? Zhang Tie was really scared. The impact of what he was experiencing was too great. As his mind was still in chaos, the three wolves had already charged over.

Zhang Tie hurriedly tried to take off his mining basket, but the fastest wolf had already pounced, knocking him to the ground. The sharp wolf claws tore through his chest, causing him to scream in pain.

In his panic, Zhang Tie remembered the dagger at his waist. He punched the wolf that had knocked him down, causing it to stagger. Just as he was about to reach for the dagger, another wolf had already bitten his wrist. The sharp teeth of the wild wolf piercing into his wrist bone made Zhang Tie almost faint, and the veins in his wrist were almost torn open, blood gushing out.

The fear of death and the intense pain from his body gripped Zhang Tie's mind. Another wolf charged and began to bite his right leg, tearing at it. Zhang Tie let out a piercing scream, "Ah, help me..."

Zhang Tie's screams did not bring any miracles. Instead, the wolf he had punched earlier bared its fangs again and bit into Zhang Tie's neck. Zhang Tie struggled with the three wolves, making his final effort.

In the last moment before losing consciousness, Zhang Tie's last sensation was not pain, but the feeling of his neck and throat being torn open, and blood flooding into his trachea and lungs, causing a suffocating sensation.

Is this what death feels like? This was Zhang Tie's last thought...

Boom...

Everything turned into fragments of light and disappeared!

Under the small tree, Zhang Tie, who had regained control of his body, opened his eyes again. His mind was still replaying what had just happened. His chest heaved as he panted heavily. Zhang Tie realized how wonderful it was to be able to breathe freely. Feeling a chill, he touched his back and found it cold and covered in cold sweat. If he had a mirror, he would have seen that his face was pale. Checking his body, he found no wounds. Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream, but it was too real, as if it had actually happened. No, it wasn't just like it had happened; it had actually happened. Except that he was still alive and unharmed, everything that had just happened was real. How could this be? Zhang Tie thought. The Soul Tribulation Fruit, it must be the Soul Tribulation Fruit. Remembering the text about the Soul Tribulation Fruit he had read, Zhang Tie had a sudden realization.

Zhang Tie's character was actually very resilient and stubborn. Since he was sure that what had just happened was related to the Soul Tribulation Fruit, he was determined to figure it out. After resting for about half an hour to calm down from the fear of being killed by the wolves, Zhang Tie sat cross-legged under the small tree again.

"Damn it, I won't believe I can't figure out what just happened!" Zhang Tie muttered to himself, "If I can't figure it out, I won't eat tonight, and I'll never get circumcised, staying a virgin for life!"

With this determination, Zhang Tie delved into the sea of consciousness in his mind.

Next to the archway leading to the Black Iron Castle in the sea of consciousness, Zhang Tie discovered something different—a hexagonal Soul Tribulation Fruit, like a dim star, hanging above the magical archway.

Zhang Tie's mind stirred, and as soon as he focused his consciousness on the hexagonal star, a message appeared in his mind.

"Great and handsome lord of the castle, this Soul Tribulation Fruit has been used once. To use it again, you need to inject enough spiritual energy to activate the Soul Tribulation Realm effect within the Soul Tribulation Fruit."

Injecting spiritual energy was easy. Zhang Tie's mind moved, and he used the method of lighting up the bright point to mobilize the spiritual energy in his sea of consciousness, transforming it into a pale golden mist and continuously injecting it into the Soul Tribulation Fruit.

Since the Soul Tribulation Fruit was in the sea of consciousness, the process of injecting spiritual energy was smooth and quick. The hexagonal star-like object absorbed the spiritual energy like a sponge, and in less than three minutes, the Soul Tribulation Fruit lit up again.

The Soul Tribulation Fruit has been activated and can be used again! The method of use is the same as entering and exiting the Black Iron Castle.

The same as entering and exiting the Black Iron Castle, heh, that's simple...

Lock it in...

It was dark again, and a point of light began to appear in the darkness. The point of light eventually turned into a hexagonal door, rushing toward him like a train, enveloping him. Then, Zhang Tie found himself on the same small path, facing the same grassland that was still being blown by the wind and rolling with waves of grass. Everything was exactly the same.

Is this the effect of the Soul Tribulation Fruit, allowing one to repeatedly experience these life-and-death battles and gain freedom from slaughter and death?

Zhang Tie looked at the grassland, and the three "reefs" in the grass began to move slowly.

Damn it! Not wanting to experience the pain of being killed by the three wolves again, Zhang Tie quickly took off his mining basket, drew the dagger from his waist, and assumed a defensive stance, staring at the three wolves emerging from the grass with hatred in their eyes...

The wolves pounced at Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie swung his dagger...

Five minutes later, Zhang Tie, covered in wounds, sat on the ground, looking at the corpses of the three stubborn wolves. He suddenly burst into laughter. At this moment, he finally understood the true effect of the Soul Tribulation Fruit...

Boom...

Everything in this space turned into fragments of light and shattered... (To be continued...)
